The Intel Core i9-13900 has appeared in a performance benchmark against the Core i9-12900 and has proven its enormous performance advantages. The Raptor Lake desktop processor series is scheduled for launch in the second half of this year.
Intel Core i9-13900 is 50% faster than i9-12900 at SiSoft
As we get closer to the launch of the Intel Core Raptor Lake processor series in the second half of this year, new information and performance benchmarks are being released, giving us a preview of the performance we can expect.
SiSoftware has once again managed to publish a mini-review of a Core i9-13900 CPU with 24 cores and 32 threads. This model is a technical sample, so it is not quite polished yet. Anyway, the performance it shows is very interesting.
Key features:
- Memory support up to DDR5-5600 (JEDEC).
- 20% more L3 cache (up to 36 MB unified).
- 2x more L2 cache (up to 32 MB)
- AVX/AVX2 support on E-cores
- No AVX-512 support (like Alder Lake-S)
The discovered Intel Core i9-13900 processor had 24 cores and 32 threads with a clock rate of 3.7 GHz. This sample did not run at the maximum speed that the new Raptor Cove cores can reach with 5 GHz and more. There is no information about the speed of the memory that accompanies the system.
The Core i9-13900 “Raptor Lake” achieved an improvement of up to 50% over the Core i9-12900 in Whetstone’s FP32 tests and an impressive increase of double in the FP64 tests. With these results, it also outperforms AMD’s Ryzen 9 5900X. The above results were achieved with a non-SIMD code. When SIMD workloads are enabled, the overall performance suffers and the processor ends up being only 4-6% faster than the Alder Lake chip. In this particular segment, the Ryzen 9 5900X is much faster than both thanks to the activation of the AVX-512 instruction set.
Hopes are high for the performance of the Raptor Lake processors when they hit the market in the coming months to compete with AMD’s Ryzen 7000 series with its new Zen 4-core architecture.
